Oxgangs Primary revisited

Just over two months after part of the gable collapsed during Storm Gertrude Image, and four days after Edinburgh Council announced that 17 schools would not be reopening after the Easter break and would be closed indefinitely. Faults had been found or suspected in these schools, all built at the same time, by the same contractor, as part of the same Public Private Partnership. As a consequence about 8000 pupils are unable to go to school, causing problems for parents and worries for pupils soon to sit exams.
